drreza 0 Posted December 24, 2012 Hi guys, I am very happy to come across this wonderfully informed forum. I have a question for you. If I am to buy a rep, which make/model/brand is more likely to be true to the gen? Are some models easier to replicate? There is a list of trusted sellers. I am on my behalf very interested in Rolex GMT Master ii ( 116713LN). Now do all the trusted sellers sell similar reps, when it comes to being true to the original? And is it worth the extra money to get swiss ETA instead of asian? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Welcome to the Forum! You have to spend a week or two, reading our threads and educate yourself. Then you'll know much more about replicas and the dealers. Each of us have it's own opinions, what reps are closer to gen, but you shouldn't expect 1:1 replicas, just doesn't exist. Start reading now.

Balad1 0 Posted December 24, 2012 Welcome and Aloha from Hawaii. I would recommend Narikaa and Toro Bravo. If they don't list what you want, they can get it, PM them. If you are concerned with being closest to the gen, the rule of thumb is to buy the most expensive version of the rep you want.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KrakDrazh 0 Posted December 25, 2012 Välkommen och god jul! Read all the 101 threads about the basics and make use of the search function, and read some more! And remember, dealers only sell. They buy the watches so all of them should have been able, to get the same ones. Don't order and pay before you ask the td if they can get the version you want (since it might not be produced by factory at the moment). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electron17 0 Posted December 25, 2012 Hello and welcome to RWG. Merry Christmas. All the good advise has already been given, read lots. I have GMT II from Watch International and am very happy with it. When a watch is by its self you cannot tell the flaws in it, it is only when it is next to a gen or better rep that you will be able to tell the difference. Most of my watches have the Asian clone and work very well with smooth sweep so I would sugest to get this movement. Besides you will never know if it is a Swiss or not as most people never look at the movement and those that do probably could not tell the difference. Besides you can take the extra cost of a Swiss and put it towards another watch. Hope this helps, Regards, Jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
